The Illinois state senate on Thursday convicted Governor Rod Blagojevich of abuse of power, removing him from office amid charges that he tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat once held by President Barack Obama.

More than two-thirds of the 59 senators, acting as a jury following the two-term Democrat's impeachment on January 9, voted to find him guilty, effectively ousting him from office.

The final vote was unanimous

Only 2/3rds of them found him guilty??? What were the other third thinking? That he really was Ghandi or MLK?

The end vote was unamious. He was officially convicted when the 40th Senator voted to convict
